http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/5282440.stm for the full story There is a recognition that the demotion is likely to upset the public, who have become accustomed to a particular view of the Solar System. Too bloody right I'm upset! Discuss...

Seriously, I don't care. However, everyone learns about the planet Pluto. It's weird if you think about it.

There are only a few interesting things about pluto, one of which is it's weird elliptical orbit, which is also one of the things which is against it being termed a planet. The other is that it's moon Charon is relatively large compared to Pluto. To the point where it was considered being termed a binary planet. Apart from that it's dullsville and is in fact smaller than some of the larger moons in the solar system. Some of which are much more interesting. For example one of Jupiters moon's Europa which is possibly our best chance of finding life elsewhere in our solar system.
